Boeing's Starliner still stuck at the International Space Station

The crew of the Starliner are still waiting for NASA to determine a return date. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, two veteran NASA astronauts piloting the first crewed test flight of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft have now been in space for 63 days, roughly seven weeks longer than initially expected. There is still no clear return date in sight. As of Tuesday it seems that NASA has not yet started a “flight readiness review” for the Starliner crew’s return from the International Space Station.

The agency had said on July 26 that it would begin that process in the first couple days of August, but Boeing and NASA teams appear to be still working on a return date as officials evaluate testing data and conduct analyses about the propulsion issues and helium leaks that hampered the first leg of the Starliner capsule’s flight. The delay of the flight readiness review process indicates that Starliner’s return remains uncertain as officials work to come to an agreement on how the rest of the mission that had launched June 5 should play out. NASA will host a briefing about the mission’s status at 12:30 p.m. ET Wednesday.
